I Was Shot In The Wrist When

I'm A Writer. The More I Act, The More Resistance I Have To It. If You Accept Work In A Movie, You Accept To Be Entrapped For A Certain Part Of Time, But You Know You're Getting Out. I'm Also Earning Enough To Keep My Horses, Buying Some Time To Write.

I Think Without Writing I Would Feel Completely Useless.

The Great Thing For Me, Now, Is That Writing Has Become More And More Interesting. Not Just As A Craft But As A Way Into Things That Are Not Described. It's A Thing Of Discovering. That's When Writing Is Really Working. You're On The Trail Of Something And You Don't Quite Know What It Is.

My Dad's Side Of The Family ... They're A Real Bizarre Bunch, Going Back To The Original Colonies. That Side's Got A Real Tough Strain Of Alcoholism. It Goes Back Generations And Generations, So That You Can't Remember When There Was A Sober Grandfather.

Sides Are Being Divided Now. It's Very Obvious. So If You're On The Other Side Of The Fence, You're Suddenly Anti-american. It's Breeding Fear Of Being On The Wrong Side.
